Feeling: David Gilmour
Speed: Yngwie, or Michael Angelo
Technicality/Craziness: Vai, or Gilbert
Songwriting: Eddie
Originality: Eddie, Yngwie
Heavyness: Hammett/Hetfeild, Angus/Malcom, Tony Iommi, lthough Children of Bodom's Guitarist is pretty damn heavy,
Slide: Definitely Duane Allman, or Derek Trucks
Blues: SRV
Overall Best Guitarist: Steve Vai, he can to anything.

agreed........except the part about liking satriani better....i find him to be in the same realm of amazing mediocrity. great player....just comes off as mediocre and unimpressive inspite of all the impressiveness in what's done.
